Washington.—Konu* tlnu* a^o the lie- publican national committee appointed a Huh-commlttee with Inst ructions to Ko into the southern states, there to study the situation and to formulate a report on means to fix the repre- sentution of the South in. futiire Re publican conventions on a basis more In keeping with the party's voting strength in that section of the coun try/** The sub-committee is expected also to make a thorough Inquiry Into po litical conditions In the southern states with a view to determining If a considerable part of the Itemocrnts dwelling therein cannot be expected shortly to change their party affilia tions. Are the Republican party leaders In Congress out dreaming dreams, or have they some solid basts for their ap parent belle/ that In the near years of the future they are to make In roads Into the voting strength of the South? Are the efforts of ^|he Republicans to amount to anything? Democratic Tenders In congress, true to their par ty traditions and principles, say ‘‘no." Republicans, however, seemingly have been bolstered In their hopes by tariff developments in the South, and also by a recent manifestation of, high tariff desires by a large delegation of southern business men who have Just visited the White House on a tariff mission bent, and who also apiteared before the house committee on ways and means on the same errand. Think Tariff Will Be the Wedge. Some time this summer the Fordney- Penrose tariff bill will he passed by • Republican house and senate and signed by a Republican President. In former years when Republican tariff bills were before congress for consideration the Democrats of the country. North and South, stood vir tually In solid ranks for low rates, and some of the Democrats, many Southerners among them, vowed their fidelity to the cause of free trade or to n close approach to It. It Is true that a few of the Demo crats of the North and South yielded their low tariff positions In favor of protection Tor certain Industries In which the home districts were Inter ested, thereby bolstering Winfield .Scott Hancock’s pronouncement when he was the Democratic candidate for the presidency: “The tariff Is a local Issue." It Is apparent today that the Re publicans hope that the tariff Is to he one of the wedges to break the solid South.* The Democrats say this la nonsense, and that even if some of the Southern senators and repre sentatives shall give way to high tariff pressure In behalf of certain southern Industries, they In the main will stand stnnohly by the old tariff- for-revenue-eniy cause, and will have no fear In their hearts that any of their constituents will leave the Dem ocratic party to consort with the Re publicans. In some of the industrial districts of the South. Republicanism, so say members of the Republican national committee. Is strongly’Intrenched, and If Its Influence In these business cen ters can find a means to extend itself outside of Its present limits. Republi canism. they say. will come into a re spectable share of jhe voting fruits of the southern states. If It had been posMb/e to learn definitely what are the istfltlcal feel ings of the niembers of the Southern Tariff association, who called on th> President and the ways and means committee, It would he possible to determine with something like accur acy whether or not there Is a basis for the Republican hope that In the near future the South Is to he split. On political matters, however" the southern visitors were as silent af the pupils at Gallaudet college. What the Southerners Asked. Sixty southern business organiza tions were represented in Washington by the committee. The delegation was led by John H. Kirby, of Houston. Tex., president of the association. There were strong words touching the tariff In the memorandum which the members presented. They asked for a protective tariff <n almost ev ery kind of enterprise In the South, agricultural an'’ u.anufacturlng, dye stuffs, gDTff. textiles, cotton, cotton seed, .peanuts, sugar, tobacco, wool, Ilv</ stock, cement, graphite, lumber, End hundred* of other things. The petition among other things said: “We respectfully urge upon you, therefore, that In this grieve emergency, the customary process of legislation be avoided, and /hat hy Joint resolution, or otherwise, the con gress make Immediately operative such schedules as your committee may recommend as desirable, subject to modification, upward or downward, as subsequent full Investigation may •how to be wise.
